    Wunda how much tea money they have to pay? Step daughters boss (in a govt. position) wanted 100K to gain her a promotion which only pays an extra 5K per month. WTF!!! We offered 30K which was accepted. She will be > 30 before she sees a benefit from her 5 years of university. BTW. Yes, we had to buy her "foot in the door"!

    I live in a blue roofed home in Isaan and not sure what that part of your comment means??? But in saying that I do agree with your opening.

    I live in Ban Dung and that is not typical of the quality of the beef we have around here. Can't see the rib cages, hip bones etc. and she is about 5 times the weight. In fact it is not a "Brahman breed cow".

    Back in the early 2000's I contracted to Chevron for 3 years in the Benchamas field. The government squeeze to control the whole of the Gulf operations was becoming obvious, even back then, and Chevron was going to pay the bin! IMHO, mismanagement is Thailand's reward

    Same here! When 3BB upgraded our service to "fibre" they did not remove the olde copper cable. Oh well, as all these cables run past our upper floor windows we won't have to close the blinds for privacy.

    Ignorant and stupid statement not worthy of comment!

    My 28 yo step daughter has been employed (after we bought her the position) for some 9 months in a local 'Orr Bor Tor' Office. Has spent more time here at home than when she was unemployed. Ahhh the land of the long weekend!!!!!

    I'm sure they would if they could BUT the road is broken!

    I certainly hope they are of better quality than the crap being supplied in their "mobility machines" flooding the Thai market place. The 4 x 12 volt (48 volt system) lasted 18 months in TW's trike. I bought US made replacements @ 1500 Baht each (used by Harley Davison) and 4 years down track they are still performing perfectly.

    With all due respect to the injured one must be happy there are 2 more of these death traps and, hopefully, their drivers off the road for some time.

    At least he loaded them in the Thai fashion without regard for pedestrians or anything else the spikes could damage!

    Coming from Amphor Ban Dung and had it been me I'd rather be dead than:-

    @ khun BENQ:- I use this type of machine regularly (only with a nylon cord) but see the locales use them all the time from cutting grass to heavy timber. I tend to agree with your assessment!

    That's a lot of people to share the tea money!

    Did the BiB bother to quiz the bar owners as to why they were still open at 03:30 AM?

    13000 Baht??? So the machine pictured contained and at least 1000 bottles of water (most of which must have been sold). Errrrrrr!!!!!

    There are any number of Klong up here in the rice paddies (and in Bangkok for that matter) choked up with vegetation, litter and every other sort of waste so why will this be any different?

    If he is serious ACT Secretary-General Mana Nimitmongkol had better be watching his back. If I remember rightly "Big Joke" has been severely threatened in the past with shots fired into his car and demotions/relocations.

    At least common sense prevails on one side of the globe! What did the Thai Military think the outcome was going to be? After the Germans refused to power their proposed Chinese submarines.

    Surely no half smart vendor would try to pass off a pineapple (closest example I can come up with) as a Durian. AND who pays 500 Baht for them?
  21. bdenner
    What's the difference between that and being told the victim had been shot or stabbed etc. as seen every day!

    I remember 22 years ago some guy wrote a book called "Private Dancer". Should have been compulsory reading for every Farang entering the Kingdom. Would have been an opportunity for the author to write another on the hassards of the Thai roads!

    And the minister for watches and all things corrupt will probably fall asleep through the so so investigation procedure! Wot a joke this oxygen thief is.
  24. bdenner
    One thing for sure, charges are rising sharply. Here in the rice paddies of upper Isaan gone from 4.344 to 5.4098 Baht. The "red shirts" are really pissed off!
  25. bdenner
    Correct! There have been any number of reputable references to these statistics, over the 20 plus years I have lived here, in these forums and others. Where is the contradictory (urban myth) evidence?
